OTTAWA, Feb. 5, 2019\u00a0 –\u00a0The M\u00e9tis Nation welcomes the legislation introduced today in the House of Commons and the effect it will have on the protection and promotion of the Michif language, the national language of the M\u00e9tis people and Nation.<\/p>\n

“The bill marks a giant first step in Canada’s support for our longstanding struggle to preserve, revitalize and promote the use of Michif which has been the most neglected of Canada’s Indigenous languages,” said M\u00e9tis Nation Minister of Heritage and Culture Clara Morin Dal Col. “I wish to commend the Government of Canada for enabling the M\u00e9tis Nation to participate in the co-development of this legislation.”<\/p>\n

Language and culture are among the priorities of the Canada-M\u00e9tis Nation Accord which the M\u00e9tis Nation leadership\u00a0 signed with the Prime Minister in 2017\u00a0toward the renewal of the M\u00e9tis Nation-Crown relationship on a nation-to-nation, government-to-government basis.<\/p>\n

“We salute the Prime Minister for acting on this priority,” said M\u00e9tis Nation President Cl\u00e9ment Chartier. “The bill recognizes that the rights related to Indigenous languages are among the rights recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act 1982 so this is reconciliation in action.”<\/p>\n

The MNC represents the M\u00e9tis Nation in Canada at the national and international levels. The M\u00e9tis Nation’s homeland includes the 3 Prairie Provinces and extends into the contiguous parts of British Columbia, Ontario, the Northwest Territories and the United States. There are approximately 400,000 M\u00e9tis Nation citizens in Canada, roughly a quarter of all Aboriginal peoples in the country.<\/em><\/p>\n
